Conversations with the people building AI
Naive autoresearch investment in our AEO have yielded impressive ROI, and so naturally it was time to take it seriously. We were inspired by What Claude Code Actually Chooses, and decided to extend/adjust it to our tastes. After a few billion tokens of prototyping, aligning, and scaling pipelines, here’s the Latent…

![[AINews] GPT-6 Astra: OpenAI’s biggest LLM launch of all time](/media/images/2026/09/a458a663b1c10a79.webp)
The launch is barely 9 hours old, and with 36M views and 164K likes, already is OpenAI’s most successful launch since Sora and certainly GPT-4 or GPT-5. You’ll recall we’ve previously observed that Anthropic tends to far outclass OpenAI in launch popularity. For the first time in their mutual history , OpenAI has…

GPT-6 Astra , the first Stargate and lightly looped supermodel from OpenAI, launched today, cleanly beating Fable 5.1 on many metrics including completely saturating the hardest versions of FrontierMath (97.6%) and ARC-AGI-3 (99.9%). Lots of demos will focus on typical talk tracks like the computer use to the Pokemon…

As AI moves from experimentation to enterprise deployment, are organizations thinking too much about models and not enough about architecture? In this episode, Daniel and Chris talk with Chetan Gupta, Chief AI Officer at Rackspace, about the evolution from industrial AI and physical AI to today’s enterprise AI…

Launch season continues from yesterday, with Gemini 3.8 Flash as rumored today, but Muse Spark 1.3, promised in Zuck’s big comeback letter last month, definitely deserved the title story win today. Per AAII it is now the #3 model in the world (!?!) Just look at the confidence displayed finally putting up comparable…

With Astra clearly finally warming up for a full launch (with @sama and @openai writing about it again after a month of self imposed pacing), there’s a familiar window to take the narrative with the round robin of model launches, with Grok 4.7 and Gemini Flash 3.8 also on the way. But that’s also perhaps not the best…

In this episode, Justin Johnson, co-founder of World Labs, joins us to discuss world models and the emerging field of spatial AI. We explore why many researchers see capabilities beyond language as an important frontier for AI, and what it means to build models that can understand, generate, and simulate the…

GitHub invented pull requests, and for 18 years they have been open by default. But now some of the top AI-native open source projects are shutting PRs off , because they’ve found a better way. These projects, which include Flue and tldraw, refuse to accept PRs from external contributors — in part because they’re…

For the entirety of the history of Generative Media, you basically had to design around the inconvenient fact that generating images and video takes time — even if you used consistency models to get a 30 second generation down to 1 second, you still only have a 1 FPS video at best… well below anything acceptable for…

A late entrant in the news cycle of an eventful week: Following the closing of Cursor’s acquisition by SpaceX last week, it was time for OpenAI to do what Anthropic did to Windsurf when it was being considered for acquisition by OpenAI: There are many angles to this, but the leading reason given should be taken at…
